Arsenio Hall
Arsenio Hall (born February 12, 1956) is an American actor, comedian, and former talk show host. Hall was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of Anne and Fred Hall, a Baptist minister. He is best known for his talk show, The Arsenio Hall Show, which ran between 1989 and 1994. He is also well known for his roles in the films Coming To America and Harlem Nights. Hall is single and has never been married. He has one son.
Since The Arsenio Hall Show ended, Hall has made only infrequent appearances on television (including a short-lived 1997 sitcom called Arsenio) before starring in Martial Law with Sammo Hung from 
1999–2000 and hosting the revival of Star Search in 2003.
Hall made a cameo appearance as himself in Chappelle’s Show in March 2004, when Dave was imagining “what Arsenio is doing right now” in a dinner scene. It showed Hall at a wine party eating some cheese and saying, “Damn! That’s some good-ass cheese!” After which, Hall started punching and slapping people for not telling him about the apparently delicious cheese. Paul Mooney also joked about Hall in his “Negrodamus” sketch: when asked “Will Arsenio Hall ever get another show?” Mooney responds “Yes. Arsenio Hall will host another show. It will be called Good Morning Black America, and it will be broadcast at noon throughout the country.”
As of 2008, Hall is a guest co-host on Wednesday evenings on the The Tim Conway Jr. Show on KLSX 97.1 FM radio, which airs in the greater Los Angeles area and streams live online for fans around the world. Hall also hosted MyNetworkTV’s comedic clip show The World’s Funniest Moments and TV One’s 100 Greatest Black Power Moves.
Hall was considered to be the host of the syndicated version of Deal or No Deal and filmed a pilot (there were six taped). However, when the syndicated series began on September 8, 2008, Howie Mandel (the host of the primetime version of Deal or No Deal and the Canadian version) was shown as host.
Hall appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on May 1, 2009, and stated that his age listed on Wikipedia was one year older than his real age . He joked that he wanted this fixed because at his age, any chance to be a year younger should be taken.
Hall continues to host the myNetworkTV show The World’s Funniest Moments (premiered 7/15/2009), an America’s Funniest Home Videos style show reviewing funny clips from the internet and viewers.
